Expressive Thoughts

The Expressive Thoughts exhibition represents the culmination of a rewarding relationship between the Tianjin Pre-School Normal School, China and the Early Learning Centre. It links cultures through a shared belief in the capacity of young children to enjoy, invent and learn through art. The exhibition presents the ideas, life experiences and aesthetic preferences of Australian and Chinese children aged 3-6 years. Through artworks that range from fine and practiced to bold and spontaneous, the exhibition provides insight into varying approaches to perception, problem solving, skilful manipulation, visual design, creativity and aesthetics.
